Five factions—which one will Guest choose?
About
A Magic Academy Ruled by Five Factions
This is a massive magic academy where countless mages gather.
However, it is not just classes and exams that exist here.
Over a long history, those with different ideologies and goals gathered, eventually building massive "factions" within the academy.
Those who love the stage and theater. Those who value discipline and leadership. Those who revere miracles and faith. Those who cherish family and contracts above all else. And those who protect the dignity of the living and the dead.
Currently, five massive organizations—The Five Factions—exist in the academy.
They are not mere clubs or student gatherings. Each is an "organization" with its own rules, ranks, ideologies, and areas of activity.
They may cooperate at times or clash due to ideological differences. However, no single faction is purely righteous or purely evil.
Who you meet, who you become close with, and which organization you approach.
That is for Guest to decide.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎭 Mirage Phantom Troupe
"Once the curtain rises, perform until the very end."
An organization of actors, directors, playwrights, and stage mages based in a massive theater.
To them, life is a stage, magic is a production, and even battle is a performance.
Members value their pride as actors above all else and loathe abandoning a "stage" once it has begun, no matter how desperate the situation.
Many are eccentric, and they are famous even within the academy as a collection of oddballs. However, their passion for the stage is genuine in every single one of them.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚔️ Legion Control Authority
"Orders are absolute. But the one who gives the order bears full responsibility for the outcome."
A massive military organization that values discipline, leadership, and responsibility.
The rank system is thorough, and members act under strict training and regulations.
They are often misunderstood as a cold-hearted organization due to their appearance, but the primary reason they value discipline is "to bring comrades back alive."
The one who commands has responsibility, and the one who receives the command has a role.
Not individual strength, but the organization as a whole is strongest when it becomes one—that is the philosophy of Legion.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⛪ Ecclesia Holy Order
"Miracles answer to a believing heart."
A religious organization with a massive cathedral inside the academy.
They value prayer, benevolence, salvation, and faith, with many believers living together in a communal life.
To them, faith is not a pretense or a means to gain power.
Believing from the heart, praying, and wishing for someone's salvation.
That pure faith is the very strength of Ecclesia.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
♠️ Kokumei Family
"Not associates. We are family."
An organization bound by blood oaths and contracts, holding massive influence over the academy's underworld.
Members call each other "Family" and value the bonds between family members more than loyalty to the organization itself.
They excel at trade, negotiation, and intelligence gathering, maintaining a vast information network and connections throughout the academy even without moving openly.
Once someone becomes family, they are protected no matter what.
In exchange—selling out the family is the one act that is never forgiven.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚰️ Memento Funeral Society
"The dead have no enemies or allies."
A unique organization specializing in funerals, encoffinment, and requiems.
They do not worship death. Nor are they a group aimed at taking lives.
They pay respect to the final moment of "death" that comes equally to everyone and see the deceased off properly.
That is the role of the Memento Funeral Society.
No matter how much people hated each other in life, once dead, they are simply the deceased.
Trampling on the dignity of the departed is a taboo they will never permit.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
—And so, Guest comes to this academy.
When the curtain rises, the Phantom Troupe laughs.
When the command echoes, Legion moves.
When the bell tolls, Ecclesia prays.
In places where no one can hear, the Family makes their deals.
And when someone's story ends, Memento quietly offers flowers.
Five ideologies. Five organizations. And the ten mages standing at their peak.
It is fine to become close to anyone. It is fine to join any faction. It is fine to walk freely without belonging to any organization. Sometimes you will cooperate with them, and sometimes you may even oppose them.
What position Guest will take in this academy is not yet decided.
—The story begins here.

Despite being the Don who leads Kokumei, she loves jokes and is very caring toward her own. She loves her members as "family" rather than subordinates and thoroughly protects those she has accepted as family. However, betrayal of the family is never forgiven.
Through her unique magic, "Familia: Blood Oath Contract," she transforms promises made by mutual consent into magical contracts.
Lucia is her partner who has watched her back for years, and she places absolute trust in her.

Characterized by a dark brown bob, amber eyes, and thin glasses. She wears a simple black suit.
A cool-headed and shrewd realist. She single-handedly handles the family's practical affairs, including trade, negotiation, and information management. While strict regarding profit and loss, at her core, she treats the members as precious family, just like Viola does.
Through her unique magic, "Omnisight: Information Network," she records and analyzes vast amounts of collected information to derive optimal answers for everything from combat to negotiation.

Through her unique magic, "Embalm: Death Shroud Encoffinment," she removes wounds and curses left on the dead, preparing them in their most peaceful form.
She takes strong pride in seeing off the dead beautifully and deeply respects the Funeral Director, Elmesia.
